mansion
As close watchers of the market will remember, this mansion at 280 Washington Avenue, one of a pair built by the Pfizers in 1888, was listed at $3.595 million in January 2005 before disappearing a couple months later. Now it has resurfaced, again with Corcoran, at the asking price of $3.995 million, which is a smaller percentage increase than the overall Clinton Hill market in the past year. The house is mind-blowing in its detail, grandeur and condition. The real constraining factor is whether there are any people wealthy enough to buy it who are cool enough to be down with Clinton Hill!

  1. I agree, Gurple. Anon is yanking your chain. Let it be. I make a motion that “henceforth the term “elite” shall be forever banned from this blogsite!” Same goes for you Yuppie snobs! Off with your heads! >;-0

    As much as you might disdain Yuppies, Gurple, I seriously doubt that CTs alone could have created the outrageous escalating rise in property values in recent years or could have promoted the growth and development of Downtown Brooklyn to the extent that it exist today. So Yuppies and CTs unite. You guys really do need each other……

  2. I think he/she is just f-ing with us, gurple. It’s kinda rad. I’m waiting for the punchline. But it is cute that I’m being called elite by being on this site. I got a chuckle out of it, if nothing else.
